Morgan v. Virginia was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case decided in 1946, which addressed racial segregation in interstate transportation. The case involved an African American woman, Irene Morgan, who was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus traveling from Virginia to Maryland. The Court ruled that segregation on interstate buses violated the Interstate Commerce Act, thus invalidating Virginia's segregation laws in this context. This decision was a significant step towards dismantling legalized segregation and advancing civil rights in the United States.
